Alabamians churn up 13 ice cream recipes worth screaming for

By: Alabama Living

Anne Ward has been making her Butter Buckle Ice Cream Dessert for many years and says it has been a staple for family gatherings. “I tweaked the recipe but ripped it off from my sister-in-law, Linda Miller,” says Ward, who moved to Alabama from Alberta, Canada, more than 50 years ago. “She always made it for her family, and she shared it with us.”

Now Ward enjoys making it for her own family groups and found that using butter-flavored cooking spray in the bottom of the pan adds a bit more buttery flavor and, of course, makes for easier cleanup. Rather than using just a pint of ice cream, she suggests a “brick” of ice cream, letting it soften a bit, then cutting it with a knife and laying the pieces in the pan.

If you can’t find butterscotch topping (we had that problem), she agrees caramel topping makes a fine substitute, and if you can’t find apple pie spice (a combo of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and sometimes cardamom), try cinnamon.
